As soon as the "Final" call goes out some of us will be volunteering our bandwidth through the bit torrent link at the qa wiki page. I still have a few niggling complaints about 9.2, but nothing I would term a show stopper. It's looking good. I've "fresh installed" cooker on the 4 9.1 machines I had access to over the past couple of days, also just finished a hard drive install and network upgrade on this one. The only one I had trouble with was the young fella's NForce 2 equipped machine, but that was expected and only needed the nvnet and other NVidia drivers installed. Now if they'd just put the super user mode konsole and super user mode file manager back on the list I'd probably be happy. If they also fixed the kde address book of course. ;-) Told you they were small "niggles."
